Splendor Inn Bed & Breakfast

Chris was very responsive to multiple messages that I had to send because of location, additional guest and plan changes on my trip. He was able to accommodate every request and stay was perfect for what I needed. Pricing was extremely fair, rooms were exceptionally clean and very comfortable. Loved the atmosphere and the subtlety of decor, not cluttered like many houses of same age.

We had a wonderful stay at Splendor Inn! Chris was very accommodating to us, letting us arrive after check-in time and an early breakfast to boot! Our room was very comfortable, nice and quiet. We enjoyed the coffee and water that was out all the time for guests. Breakfast was eggs cooked to order, english muffin, yogurt, hash browns and coffee - the perfect way to start the day!

We were fortunate to get a reservation at this excellent inn that was highly recommended by several people in the local area. The inn is charming, clean and comfortable. Shower water was hot and great pressure. Bed was very comfortable. Room and inn was quiet and restfull. Breakfast cooked to order and delicious.

A solid 4.5 if that was possible. Splendor Inn provided a very good home base for a recent visit for a family funeral, and just a few items would have made it a solid 5. We loved the comfy and inviting living room with TV and magazines. Parking was convenient off street. The location was near everything we needed. Do go to the Wild Owl for dinner, just a few blocks' stroll. Our room, #2, was spacious and well outfitted with a large private bath, tv, lots of drawer and closet space, and a chair to read in. The decor was comfy and seasonal, and suited the history of the home. Breakfast both mornings was just right--made to order omelets for him, scrambled for me, with toast and fruit options. The English breakfast tea was exactly right. We really enjoyed chatting with the other guests over a relaxed breakfast, served 8-9 am, and not being rushed out. Chris and Ann are accommodating hosts! The door code made it easy to come and go. Our host was phappy to chat, yet not intrusive. The 2nd floor guest area with mini fridge, Keurig, and bottled water was appreciated. A few minor things slightly impacted our rating. Our room, which fronted the street, was quite bright--great in the daytime, flooded with natural light from windows on 2 sides--but the blinds and light-colored curtains did not block light at night. The green shag carpet could do with an update. When shown to our room on day 1 there was an strong odor of...air freshener? cleaning product? Due to mild temps we were able to air it out but it lingered for the first day, although we didn't smell it anywhere else in the house. We highly recommend Wild Owl just down the street for friendly and professional service, and excellent cuisine and beer/wine choices. The Splendor Inn is a very good in-town choice that with a few tweaks would be excellent.

Chris, his wife, and their adorable little dog Caz are the ultimate hosts! We had an absolutely wonderful stay the weekend of our daughter's graduation from Colgate. The place is charming and super comfy. Sometimes I find that B&B stays can feel a bit awkward, but that was not the case at all here. We were made to feel completely at home and coming and going was easy. Our room was spacious, very clean, and the Inn is in a good location, close-by to lots of places to eat. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. We stayed two nights and the breakfast was wonderful on both mornings. Definitely try the homemade english muffins (and incidentally Chris and his wife hail from the British Isles) if they are on offer! There is just a bit of traffic noise from the road outside, but nothing some ear plugs couldn't take care of. We would definitely stay again!!

I've never felt so comfortable in someone else's home. It made me want to move to Norwich. Entirely peaceful, charming, cozy, and relaxing. The hosts are genial and have perfected the right balance of attentiveness (my, what a great breakfast!) and respect for the privacy, ease, and independence of their guests.
